Introduction to Unreal Editor for FORTNITE (UEFN)
Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) enables creators to design fully interactive experiences within the Fortnite ecosystem using Unreal Engine technologies. It is increasingly used for interactive storytelling, immersive environments, and experimental gameplay design.
This masterclass introduces the production workflow used to design interactive Fortnite experiences using Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Participants will develop a cyberpunk-themed dungeon environment and construct a complete gameplay loop built around a search-and-rescue scenario.
The workshop focuses on practical production workflows used by Fortnite creators and studios, emphasising gameplay systems, event-driven logic, and scalable design patterns.
Masterclass Format: Systems Architecture Approach
This programme is structured as a production-style masterclass rather than a traditional tutorial.
Participants learn to design Fortnite experiences using a systems architecture approach, reflecting how professional creators structure interactive worlds.
Key concepts include:
• gameplay system boundaries
• modular device architecture
• event-driven gameplay logic
• scalable design patterns for interactive environments
The workshop is organised around building a complete gameplay loop within a cyberpunk dungeon scenario, allowing participants to apply these concepts in a practical production context.
